Just watched Davantes top 100 video. Can’t believe he jumped from #101 last year to #45 this year. Cool to see him recognized by his peers even if it’s a poorly constructed list. The video left out some of his best highlights of this past season though. I hope this man is force fed the ball. Even when he isn’t open he’s open.

This is freaking embarassing. Not a chance in HELL this gets enforced equally or properly.

Lol first 3 hits are totally normal football plays, then the 4th is 50/50 and then you have the dirty Davante hit. One of these things is not like the other...

How many WRs would you take over him for the 2018 season though? 

6? 7? 

(This question is open to anyone)

For this year

AB, Julio, OBJ, Hopkins 

I think he belongs in this tier but here’s how I’d rank them 

AJ Green, Davante, Michael Thomas, Mike Evans 

not a huge Mike Evans fan but wouldn’t argue if someone had him ahead.

I think they used to be normal football plays, but the very first play looks like a flag and a fine even before this rule change- he drops the helmet and earholes the receiver.

It certainly will lead to controversy interpreting the calls, especially since they happen so fast in real time.

Seems like a difficult situation because it requires changing tackling technique at a time when the CBA doesn't allow enough padded practices.  The CBA really created some unintended problems.

For 2018. 

Julio Jones
Antonio Brown
Odell Beckham Jr.  
AJ Green 
DeAndre Hopkins 
Stefon Diggs
Davante Adams 
Doug Baldwin
T.Y. Hilton 

10th is difficult. Could be Keenan Allen, Michael Thomas, Mike Evans, etc.

I've seen Diggs over Adams a few places now, and I've got to say I don't get it at all. And it's not just because he's playing with Rodgers either. Adams had better stats playing with Huntley and getting knocked out of two games ( and missing two) last year. Adams had more yards and 12 TD to Diggs' 3 in 2016 too.

If they're both healthy in 2018, i'd put a hefty amount of money on Davante having a better season than Diggs.

I agree, Adams over Diggs for 2018 fantasy, but for a totally different reason, and that's Adam Thielen and Dalvin Cook. We have Jimmy Graham, but we always have significantly more passing TDs than rushing, and I think running the ball suits Minnesota's style of play this year. A lot of mouths to feed on the Vikings offense, more than ours and we'll have more volume

How so?

Stefon Diggs was supplanted as the WR1 on that team by an UDFA that played FCS/D-II? ball. That alone puts him under Adams. Plus, Adams is much more physical which helps him win 1-on-1's. I've got him slotted as my #6 WR with Allen and Evans directly behind him.

Thielen, Diggs, and Cook are three really good players. Rudolph is a solid tight end.


In 2016, Packers had 40 passing TDs and 11 rushing TDs. Vikings had 20-9. 
In 2017, Packers still had 25-13 while the Vikings were 25-15 missing Dalvin Cook for half the year and we had Hundley half the year.

The case can and will be made that the Packers will likely have more total TDs and a lot more passing TDs. With Jordy gone, Adams has to split with Graham and Cobb to a lesser extent, and Diggs has to split less TDs with both Thielen and Rudolph, both of which I think could have more TDs than Diggs.

That is garbage. Adam Thielen had a GREAT season, don't downplay what he is because of where he came from. I would take Adams over both of them, but Diggs is not far behind if he can stay healthy

I"m not really referencing Adams/Diggs there.

Adams, Cobb, Jones/Ty/Williams/, Graham are pretty damn comparable to who you mentioned for the  vikes.
